First time I heard an Algerian song was back around 2001. The music section of Barnes and Noble had an international section where you could hear songs on a headset. They happened to have one from Cheb Mami and I bought it. Still love it. But at the time I had no idea what language it was in or where it was from, i figured middle-eastern. Years later I had a co-worker from Syria and played him some on a walkman. He said it was Arabic with a Moroccan accent. Eventually I looked it up when I finally got the internet around 2010 and found out it was Algerian. Lol. It was a different world before internet was available every moment.

I absolutely loved your reaction to this one, it was absolutely hilarious. It’s great getting to learn from you two and to hear your perspective on this film as the average American isn’t aware of all the political messaging relative to the Arab world. I highly recommend watching the film Lawrence of Arabia, it’s a classic, and involves the uniting of the tribes in Arabia against the Ottoman Turks.

[@yahudigahba]

After which the West backstabbed them like always.

[@3TTriple]

The movie and what happened in real life were not really about uniting the Arabs; it was about making the general population believe they were getting united so they could use the Arabs to backstab the Ottoman Empire. The goal was always to get the resources and create political puppets who would allow the British to rob the Middle East. Instead of a big Arabia, which a lot of people wanted, they allowed a few Arab leaders to create all these little dictatorial kingdoms where you only have to control one person to gain control over a country. Every time one caused a bit of a problem, the British and USA would just finance terrorism or dangerous minorities to fight against the suppression. That's why the US supported Al-Qaeda, ISIS, PKK, and many more. If it doesn't happen directly by the UK and US, then it's through long-time standing puppets in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. There is a very harsh German standup comedy like theater show called: "Volker Pispers about USA (english subtitles)", I can recommend. Also for this channel to review.

[@adamrou12345]

It is supposed to be mocking Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, and Turkmenistan's Saparmurat Niyazov and the country Wadiya is loosely based on Eritrea. When they show the map at the beginning Wadiya is where Eritrea would be. The whole Aledeen joke is reference to when Saparmurat Niyazov abolished the Turkmen word for bread, having it replaced with "Gurbansoltan", his mother's first name.

Yiddish is a germanic based language with lots of Hebrew lone-words spoken in European Jewish communities. Hebrew was already a mostly dead language by the time Jews got to most of Europe, I believe.

I speak Dutch and a bit of Deutsch(German) there are words easily picked up, things like "to buy" is practically the same.

[@samuelcolley9270]

Yiddish was spoken but for worship they mostly used Hebrew

[@joshjanov]

Yiddish was mostly spoken by Eastern European and Russian Jews. It’s a derivation of both German and Hebrew. It’s still spoken today as a first language among Hasidic Jews in their communities throughout Brooklyn and upstate New York. A lot of NY slang is derived from Yiddish as well, like platz, schlep and schmuck.

[@svenvanwier7196]

@@joshjanov yeah, genau as a Dutchie it’s like I am mixing Dutch with German. Very easy to go undercover for me

[@SkibMikeBDS]

Whats the point of saying you believe something when you can easily look it up. Hebrew was never a "dead language" since it is and has always been used in religious script and prayers. The reason why it wasn't the most spoken language in European regions was due to assimilation and the necessity to communicate with non-Jews and non-hebrew speakers

This film basically is based on the stereotype of the Arab Dictator, I think mostly a comedy version of Muammar Gaddafi and maybe Saddam Hussein, but mostly I think it's based off Gaddafi. For example one of Saddam's sons literally made an elite unit with Darth Vader helmets. Meanwhile Gaddafi had an all female body guard unit which is exaggerated/made fun of in this film as well.

35:54 Yiddish is the most important language of the Ashkenazi Jews in the diaspora. It belongs to the West Germanic part of the Germanic languages, but is not typical of this language family. It is written with Hebrew characters - from right to left. Yiddish developed from the German language in the Middle Ages. At the beginning of the 13th century, Jews in Germany were only allowed to live in ghettos so that they were isolated and could not have contact with their Christian fellow citizens. In the ghettos, Hebrew and German mixed to form a dialect.

[@HippityHoppitus-ilyasse]

[@choomah]

Yiddish is a Jewish language derived from Hebrew with origins in 9th century Germany. With the "new world" era of America. Communities of Yiddish speaking Jews found their way to the USA. As a result there are still communities in the US where you can find people speaking Yiddish. With representation in pop culture as well as more conventional forms of language spreading, many are familiar with some Yiddish words without necessarily being aware. "Chutzpah" meaning "audacity" is common one.
